for life you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here sees some other part of it and realize that everything you saw you don't charge welcome to the big picture. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right here. i think the rock the bombings the the one well. we never got the live shows here keep them safe get ready because in the air freedom.

for. fear. they'll. have time for showing talent and i program now last time we told you about a staggering numbers on american poverty for the census bureau over forty six million people are now living below the poverty line allen says no doubt shed light on a growing problem in our country but i want any real solutions for the producer price reason assented a final question how to stop. and june two thousand and nine the

recession officially ended according to the business cycle data in committee of the national bureau of economic research and tragically we keep hearing now we're in a recovery stage but try telling that to the two point six million more people that fell into poverty last year we list week that in twenty's and poverty in america grew to the highest number since the census began measuring fifty two years ago these are the numbers last year forty six point two million lived in poverty we never had forty six point two million people in this situation before twenty five point five million of those who are in deep poverty earning around eleven thousand dollars and eighty six million or did not even worth lined up the week out of the whole year oh and don't forget in all of this there was zero job growth in america zero sees me but does anyone in washington get it congress in the meantime is only looking at budget cuts and figuring over jobs bills are recent post to wait around

and see how much things are going to get worse this year it's too bad so many people have to suffer so politicians in washington can't deny that average americans are just slipping down an economic black hole so after all the talk out of washington we want to know what you thought could be done to turn around this economy and what we heard sounds like an economic policy as good as any we've heard so far first romney said end the wars downsize the military and cut subsidies for oil companies second jason holloway told us slap high tariffs on imports and bring factory jobs back to america step three jason he think he said bring jobs back home lower gas prices and fix the minimum wage he believes that the minimum wage should be the minimum cost to live not the minimum that a company can pay you it's amazing what kind of commonsense answers you can find from asking common citizens oh wait isn't that who are representatives in washington are supposed to be representing. as always we thank you for your

responses and here's our next question for you phase the third anniversary of lehman brothers collapsing and triggering the global financial crisis for years on we don't seem to be in better shape and if anything our banks are only bigger so let us know what you think do you think the government would let another big bank fail you can find us on facebook twitter and you tube and you know if your response just might make it on their. spending time on facebook at work be considered a felony could lying about your age or weight on a dating website land you behind bars or hearing in the senate today by the senate judiciary committee review expanding a lot who could make a lying on the internet just that a felony let me explain here back in one thousand nine hundred six the computer fraud and abuse act was set into law to deter hacking however throughout the decades legislation for the computer fraud act is expanded to cover a wide range of issues to make any act that quote exceeds authorized access to a computer a violation and a violation clearly is a misdemeanor of the white house is looking to upgrade that penalty to a felony so what exactly is considered exceeding unauthorized access these days

i'll believe it or not that language is so broad that it's pretty much up to whomever is in charge and you know those terms of service boxes they have to accept before you join a side and purchase something online well if you violate those and the justice department considers that a violation it's even worse if you violate the computer fraud and abuse act you're not just facing trouble from the feds but this law also allows private parties to file civil suits as well as another you know it's a let's focus on the senate judiciary hearing which discussed increasing that penalty of a violation as i said earlier the obama administration is the one that would like to see the violators face of felony that's a move the white house wants to tighten controls over the internet for the sake of cybersecurity but a lot of committee members pointed out today the widespread method of violation could cause more trouble than it could good senators al franken and patrick leahy are worried that the current state of the computer fraud act already reaches too far leahy was quoted as saying we want you to concentrate on the real cyber crimes and not the minor things. now the committee has yet to vote on this legislation but

one can only hope are the questions about the broad language of the bill could help prevent the government and overreacting when it comes to computer fraud all the name of fighting hackers anybody remember to protect children from internet pornographers act in two thousand and eleven that's the law which would require i ask you keep everyone's internet records along the whole host of other data for up to eighteen months in the name of fighting child porn and this expansion that we just spoke about that's starting to remind me a whole lot of that meeting that is not good. now to look back to an operation that was conducted by the f.b.i. almost one year ago on september twenty fourth of two thousand and ten that the idea of the homes of anti-war activists across the country five minneapolis homes two homes in chicago as well as the office of the anti-war committee were raided and according to the f.b.i. the warrants they had were seeking evidence in support of an ongoing joint terrorism task force investigation and activities concerning the material support of terrorism and today twenty four activists have been targeted all were asked to

appear to grand jury in chicago and all refused but has the f.b.i. dropped the case not quite and most are actually still waiting to see what's going to happen to them while their personal belongings that were taken in those raids including their passports haven't been returned so how do they see it well joining me to discuss it is just send an anti-war activist whose home was raided and a member of the committee to stop f.b.i. repression yes i want to thank you so much for joining us tonight and i guess if we can start by going back to almost a year ago on september twenty fourth tell us what happened when your home was raided. well we can't but in the morning i was actually below stairs and though i live pardon my daughter who are downstairs we all heard loud banging at the up by a door that is how i came down the stairs but i heard it out and open the door and but eight f.b.i. agents have burst through the door and again we're going to go through every remember. they were here for about five hours and as the day went through

everything they would take a pile colder and look through every single kid that was going about what we did if there was anything of interest to them they will do my daughter's seven she was six years old i mean those were her room it was my grandfather's belongings he'd have clear earlier that year and i had a box of his sort of like ramon sort of in the end they took many many paper boxes full of the tapers but we're going to see these and mostly notebooks and paper relating to my political work and my international travel they were especially interested in anything related to colombia or power and they didn't touch the question of that day but they had a with my self-image part of it just athena jones grand jury in chicago well talk about some of your political work then what is that exactly what have made you a person of interest here you are an anti-war activist have been for a while but specifically when it comes to perhaps material support of terrorist

organizations when colombia and palestine are involved i plain was why you would be suspicious. well the that effective government has taken it upon itself to create terror understand terrorist organizations not the objective thing that gets you on her iraq but later. claims in the buildings is that what we were spared is having a different political out with the united states government and boy in many cases by this degree but our government you about who is a terror that day think that bombings these over afghanistan in iraq really cause to question their own government then discuss the oppression of terrorism that there had i traveled to colombia more than ten years ago where i'll go to the things i did was probably in southern yeah pretty profits were happening with the revolutionary armed forces of one of the groups on the terror that was married

public about me and i wrote about it when i return now very interested in what the prospects were for people. and we now know that in fact it was my work and that of one other person in power who was the colombian people that initiated this investigation does work with her past in the colombia though not very many a few more but not everybody has had the power and there's a lot more but you want to do you have taken aside and it will come like and does it every one of the start of the conflict there again and for anyone in the united states to do things by publish their statement and we think we're going to get it is a question of whether or not even have the right in that i'll just link that you know this is a we talk about colombia and we talk about palestine that's not exactly what we're talking about one we're thinking about our war on terror and al qaida here but do you think that the policies post nine eleven have been used to you know to allow

the federal government to come in and to spy on you or to take your belongings not sense. i think that the right people living in that united were severely abridge the nine eleven the first communities targeted really heavily with the rich well back of the liberty where arabs and muslims especially immigrants and we have thousands of people who could change were questioned and many who were deported as question the relations with terrorist organizations they never have reopened again in court you know people were just automatically back and that was a horrible thing to watch and back many people have been imprisoned and sorry but the ones that aren't being investigated for but their organizations like the holy land foundation which was the biggest book her charity in bits and actually and the early undergrad and hospitals and health care centers in the south the new territories a place where hamas was elected government and operating charities there made

that justice was saying that they supported terrorism but i have to have an interrupt you really quickly because we only have a minute left but i want to nelson now it's been almost a year you decided not to go out to the grand jury and what's happened is any of your belongings been returned you have any idea what's going on with this case what might happen to you. it's really difficult to proceed to the grand jury is great the latest word that we have from the prosecutors is that they are the peking multiple indictments but they may be even already was indictment they may be close . but it's been widely believed that bam-bam are going to court started activists are going to be told that we're facing criminal charges then a lot of them are probably hadn't been returned in my case my pa. and my mother is there and i want to go live with her she will parag and i had to apply to the prosecutor to have my back or they let me have it for one month and i had to

return it when i got back and so that there will be that i'm definitely still a target of this eight and we believe that it's really just a question of how many people and when we're going to be things. i will keep looking at it here jacki thanks so much there for joining us tonight. thank you no but i. now we come back they are hungry german couple thinking fame i cried when it's that i had an happy hour his telling and all of pat robertson finally lost it plus the japanese love for robots strikes again that innocent. interlude only military mechanisms do not work out to bring justice for accountability. i have every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i pay taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. you

know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for life is if you understand it and then a glimpse something else here's some other part of it and realize that everything you saw you don't i'm trying hard look at the big picture. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right. i think the bombings even funny well. whenever the government says they're going to keep you safe get ready you can get your freedom.

for five. night school time of war and tonight because of the philosophy yes the fame hungry couple as journeyed their way to yet another p.r.

stunt now if you're familiar with them the d.c. area couple known as the white house party crashers they're accused of crashing president obama's first state dinner back in two thousand and nine and causing a media circus white house party crashers what was your reaction when you saw the headlines devastated areas there in the street or why why did the sharks devastated we knew. the facts which with time you know our side of the story and everything will be heard now while this law he's we're happy to tell their story to n.b.c.'s the today show after the story broke when they were called the capitol hill to testify before congress they refused to answer questions on the grounds that it might incriminate them but how does all of this a lot he's been using the white house party crashers label to seek fame and fortune . to me and my going.

that's right the couple took part in the bravo series real housewives of d c and that series was the fifth installment of the real housewives series but the d.c. season was a total bust bad ratings of course probably would cancel the show after just one season so since that time there's a lot he's continued their quest for fame and the same time inflicted some major major pain on america especially make aimless olaiya and her attempts at a music career. ok in hindsight we were always short of war and you turned on your t.v. before you played by clip sorry but now that you have the back story the salon he is this response board to yesterday local news stations here in washington began reporting not michela saw he was missing her husband went on t.v.

crying asking for help in finding his wife and naturally everybody thought this was a p.r. stunt turns out make a left her husband ran into the open arms of another man. tricks along the top of his watch mchale was missing big drama for this a lot of folks he got on the phone called police she may have been kidnapped but the sheriff's department says she left all her old with a good way of teams even saying that's a good friend is johnny guitarist neil schoen mitchell are you advised she did not know mr so i don't know where she would think they know where you. hang out with and there is a famous eighty's guitar and slick alkali he was long time friends with the members of journey. you know i actually feel sad for m.s.m. b.c. fox and c.n.n. the fact that i made it on the national cable news networks was partner of ours yesterday it's just appalling this is the best the local news story i'm not even

sure if a belongs on local news i think the right will help but his ego driven couple seems to know how to play the media for coverage or that reason we're giving tarik and mikhail us a lot of the articles on award and longer at it are to toss in the mainstream media for covering that crap. are it's time for a happy hour and joining me tonight is artsy web writer andrew blake and alex sites all reporter and blogger for think progress dot org thank you for joining me gentlemen ok so we're going to start our story over in france this evening as we know you're going to say offensive things and get away with it in france apparently as we all learned from the john galliano incident. i think it's common it's common give us a second i think you guys didn't know. what i. did yet.

your mother is your goal. ok he was actually found guilty what was the last week or actually weeks ago but now france is dealing with another major controversy they have removed and this is you know i phone app called jew or not jew which identifies whether or not french politicians and celebrities are jewish and apparently they have a french law that are violated which outlaws the identification of an individual's religion without their consent or the compiling of information about religious beliefs but i don't you would you are not i view after we have been here in america but only in france and i hope no waste of my time but. we have a hanukkah song which i think sort of got at the same thing when he listed all the celebrities that are jewish but i mean you know i think it out maybe

a little bit too far but more importantly i mean the french law that you're not allowed to do this kind of thing seems like we're totally not fine in the states told violation the first i mean we i mean no matter what you think of it saying things like well you know what john galliano said was offensive and you can call it disgusting but the fact that you can actually get in trouble for saying that in a public space you're just reminds you about how we actually do have free speech here and you can say offensive and horrible things and i actually have to you know go to court and pay money for it pay fines and maybe even go to jail which is still just completely continues to boggle my mind i don't know about you guys. i mean discovery would seem crap when you talk with the mainstream media so you have some freedoms over here as well and very some very clearly my viewers like it when i say crap to. everybody who is so worried about. it let's move on to you to another country that never speaks to stops amazing me japan they have the first robot to take part in a triathlon take a look. kind of something you could try simply group by two or three companies evil

to paraphrase seven for the same morning on an attempt to run twenty four i was a room be historically a month so i could influence it just before. the twenty four group to the choose from so many workers who were apparently oblivious to a situation which just kept on doing. i love to drive british never really robotic nearly oblivious to it you've just kept on going even braking robot i think of that kind of you know take from the excitement out of it the whole point if you want to triathlons like this is this incredible physical feat you train for for months you know i can't even imagine the emotions of completing something like that let alone winning as a robot. any different something seems fishy because. comes out of japan and they're sending it over to enter the iron competition in honolulu he remembered the last time the japanese just showed up in hawaii you know didn't work out better well. and then the less time they tried taking over america is when they sent colby

asha over here and he tried he broke up our program heard we gave him joey chestnut and i have a feeling that we're going to figure out a way tribute elite once again i'm not concerned about the safety of america but you know you think that there there japan i mean there are there robots are going to be some horrible dangerous things that yeah. yeah you know there are no use robots i mean maybe down the road but this robots a little unintimidating but i'm totally you going on the page with you on the marathon thing i say let the robots to everyone talks about how robots will do the jobs that humans don't want to do i do not want to run marathons so i said let the robots have the marathons they can have a hundred mile bike ride it's all about the people you know to the point where i would i would never want to do a marathon or a triathlon i guess that makes me a lazy horrible human being but it just does not sound. like an achievement that i would want to train for it sounds like a miserable miserable experience sure letter about syria but i think still plenty of people wanted to help and now let's talk about pat robertson our favorite

televangelist who says you know crazy bigoted stuff all the time this time some people actually think he may have taken it a little bit too far take a listen. i have a friend whose wife suffers from alzheimer's she doesn't even recognize him anymore and as you can imagine the marriage has been rough my friend has gotten bitter at god for allowing his wife to be in that condition and now he's started seeing another woman he says that he should be allowed to see other people because his wife as he knows her is gone and i'm quite sure what to tell him please help what he says basically is correct. though it's cruel but he's a looser think he should divorce or and over again. now i think you should be able to divorce whoever you want raving you can do whatever you want but it's just funny dinner's some of these christian religious zealots who go on about how you have to abide by a marriage only being between one man and one woman what about the whole death you know told that you part love you and think nothing and help are they just kind of

flies out the window yes. yes you have marriage there i mean there's you know gay people because it all somehow degrade the institution of marriage but you know if your spouse isn't so good the more doesn't remember you heard of the answer is they're dead anyway basically is what you had already got you just added to the list of groups there are just things don't count if the jews in the senate here are there now you have people with climbers yeah ok giving them to her on to the list. now let's talk about ok first we're going to play you a clip and this happened i think last weekend during the ceremony for september eleventh and then i'll explain operates a clue. i. feel. you're . ok so that somehow michelle obama whispering to her rock became some like right wing everyone prachi said all for the

flag and then fox news even picked up on it is this ridiculous thing and says this week the obama campaign launched a new for and it's a web site called attack watch and they asked people to send in submissions of what obama supporters deemed to be unfair untruthful media attacks on the president leaping of the letter good idea but people like it they have one hundred thousand users so far enough i signed up to get a free i pod i haven't got. the i pod country loaded with all the attacks on obama and the devonian better i had to go through so many surveys to get their hopes. it is clearly a need for this like the clip you played if you go on about there's a bunch of websites sort of web sites that are running polls now and you can guess what michelle obama said and they're all like all this for the terrible flag are down with the flag of the united states and it's like she says. i'm hungry i mean you have no idea and i can flag really quickly we have our last story so i merican

apparel how the contest because they've been criticized for having skinny models so they wanted to plus size models of the girl one but she really did it all as a ploy and then she had her friend take pictures of her like eating waffles a nasty chick and now that stripper ever title and those are the pictures pool my kind of like when you say. but i mean i don't know i think she should have i think american people should have gone with that they're supposed to dislike countercultural cool hip thing and the picture to the side yes now they've given themselves away they're like oh you a colossal you're fired american experience exploiting someone that's good for them there's. all the clues as often as i can but there's sticking to what you know best supporting people i think they went ahead and call that. disgusting to sell go american apparel always winning our thanks guys for joining me tonight but as a finite so thanks for tuning animation exactly morrow and meantime awful for the fan of a lot of snow i base that as a follow us on twitter and if you missed any of the night's show or any other nights ago it was cattle that would call it flash yellowish out of facts because
